About Kougyoku Ren and Sinbad...Why am I have the feeling that Kougyoku Ren will die because of Sinbad's action? He did planted something into the princess's head...and this doesn't look good at all.
As for the "new" emperor, do you think that she looks and act evil, but actually is a good mother ala Itachi intention? |

Damn using a giant Magic laser spewing robot is the secret weapon? Still I'm thinking using the Finalis Corps at this point would be very interesting since it reveals their capabilities before Kou comes in to mess things up more.

For being a non-pureblood... Morun sure can lift. :heh
And if the Fanalis has been on stand-by the entire time, that means Alibaba's has born witness to the entire battle from the start. I expect that we'll get a glimpse of his opinion towards this war as well soon, given that we've already seen Aladdin's view of it. Quote:
So far, it's been... Laem War Assets Large Muggle Army : useless until all other war assets of Moga are defeated. Gunpowder : one-upped by magic tools and Big Zam Fanalis Corp Dungeon Conquerers x 3 Possible War Assets: Schezerade Dungeon Conquerer of Amon (temporary, minor if any) Magnoshtat War Assets Small Muggle Army : useless Magic Tools : abohttp://forums.animesuki.com/images/as.style/default/editor/menupop.gifut to be one-upped by Fanalis High-Level Magicians : still active war potentials, but has diminished relevance at this point. Dark Metal Vessel Users : unknown quantity Black Djinn Possible War Assets: The 'Power' spoken by Aladdin ( may or may not be Dark Djinn-related ) Aladdin (temporary, minor if any) Likely Elements to Fuck up Both Sides: The 'Power' ( No way Moganett has control over whatever crack he thinks he has ) Kou Empire The 4th Magi and the Former 3rd Prince of Balbadd ( yes, I know they're both mentioned above as well. )

You're pretty much saying YES! I havent even mentioned the fact that the "spy" choose to stay in "Russia" on his own... I mean the U.S. TOTALLY should have invaded Stalin's Russia, because he was a bad dude, killing about 30 million of his own people. . . .yeah that would have gone over well -.- Quote:
even so. . .even if reim was the paragon of morality it still wouldn't justify invading another country, for moral reasons and for practical reasons: for example: the kou empire could just invade reim since all of their forces are fighting magoschnatt, then after plundering reim and setting up base there and using reims resources as supply lines, could wipe out BOTH armies at the battle of reim and mago and take over THAT as well. . . which wouldn't be surprising if the kou does take advantage of all that Also the fact that the author is using ROME as the invading country is a message in itself. . . also IF schezerade wins the war and takes over mago, what's will she do next? just leave the people she conquered to suffer? take them to her country as slaves?(which would be the same as the dumbledouche is doing) What if the people don't want to leave? What if they actually hate and resent reim for invading them? Is she going to kill them all when they resist? (and they WILL resist, which is what the author has been setting up as a possibility) How is she going to feed them as their infrastructure is going to be shattered during the invasion? How will she feed her own army AND the people she is "saving" at the same time. you all need to ask these questions (and more) before blindly supporting an INVASION of another country, ESPECIALLY in THAT TIME PERIOD. the amount of hardship put on the "people" will increase exponentially because of the invasion. So really, reim is making things worse. . . Last edited by CJ_Walker; 2013-01-20 at 09:27. |

^Sponsoring international terrorism has been used as a reason to invade in the real world, it's essentially an attack on national sovereignty to fund/supply/arm rebels and people who would overthrow the rule of law. No country can afford to let that happen for too long and continue to be taken seriously as a nation.
They've done more then enough to warrent getting invaded, the Titus incident was just the straw that broke the camel's back. |

If a country is funding terrorism that threaten national security while holding that country spy that could possible leak super sensitive info....i see that there's a need to eradicate the threat after giving them the choice to return back their spy and allowing them to merge in a peaceful manner but was reject outright. |

But it's moot anyway: Rehm doesn't need a reason to invade and/or enslave. Like Kou, "it's there" is plenty enough reason for them. |

In this situation diplomacy might create a peaceful resolution, or it would give the other side time to push forward with plans to build more weapons/develop new weapons/indoctrinate more wizards. Schezerade probably decided the risk of Magnoshtat developing a super weapon if given more time was too dangerous to risk and immediately went with the invasion. Since Magnoshtat had already developed a weapon of mass destruction Laem is possibly averting a greater horror at a later date by acting decisively now. |

Ah, yes, preemptive self-defense.
Rehm is the one with a history of being, well, an empire. Magnostadt just wants to be a country by and for magicians. The lives of non-magicians in it aren't exactly rosy, but that's not why Rehm invaded. Let's not kid around: Rehm invaded because they want to conquer the world. The worst Magnostadt's done is maybe alter the timetable and refuse to give in without a fight. |

Oh I agree they invaded because they want the territory, I was just trying to address why they decided to invade immediately rather then try diplomacy to turn them into a vassal state as the real world Rome frequently did. In theory this would allow them to bring Magnostadt into the empire without having to conquer or govern them, so the empire has "control" and Magnostadt would still have been able to govern themselves as long as they acknowledged Laem's nominal authority.
